1989 - 1992 Suzuki GSX-R400
The 1989 Suzuki GSX-R400 feels very similar to its larger brother. Its tiny pegs are high and are a nightmare on the road but they make sense on the track. However, you need to play around with the suspension. On most models the rear is too soft and causes under steer. But once set-up, despite its old-fashioned-looking frame.

When 400 cc ruled the world of motorcycles, Suzuki’s GSX-R400 was the rarest little dinosaur. The Suzuki GSX-R400 feels very similar to its larger brother, but shrunk down. Its tiny pegs are high and are a nightmare on the road but they make sense on the track. However, you need to play around with the suspension.
